In accordance with an exemplary scenario, various vehicles utilize charging and distribution systems to provide electrical power to the vehicles. For example, the charging systems are utilized to charge batteries and power the attached loads, such as lamps, horns, and the like. In one exemplary scenario, the load demands of the vehicles have increased over time, thereby causing an increase in the demand of efficient charging and distribution systems. In general, the charging systems in the vehicle include an alternator that is used to convert mechanical energy from a vehicle engine into electrical energy. The electrical energy may then be utilized to charge the battery and power-up (or activate) other electrical loads of the vehicle.
